What is Spianata Romana?

Spianata Romana is considered a delicious Italian specialty, inspired by the traditional Spianata Romana bread. This unique cut sausage is characterized by a flat, round shape about 10 to 15 centimeters in diameter. The sausage is prepared with finely minced pork seasoned with pepper, salt and a blend of carefully selected herbs and spices. The taste is compared to that of salami, but is perceived as slightly spicier and often enriched with a coating of black peppercorns. The name is used to emphasize the distinction of this sausage from other Italian varieties. Spianata Romana is especially loved in the Lazio region, and especially in Rome. It is often served as a snack or appetizer. This specialty goes excellently with
